Overview

The Okuma GENOS M560V-5AX is the larger sibling to the M460V-5AX, combining the proven GENOS M560-V bridge-type platform with a trunnion table for simultaneous 5-axis machining. It offers a wider work envelope and heavier table load than the M460V variant while maintaining the GENOS line's value-oriented positioning. This machine bridges the gap between entry-level 5-axis and premium platforms like the MU-5000V.

Travel measures 1,050 x 560 x 460 mm (41.3 x 22.0 x 18.1 in) on the linear axes, matching the standard M560-V's generous X-axis stroke. The trunnion table is 500 mm (19.7 in) in diameter with A-axis tilt from +20 to -110 degrees and continuous 360-degree C-axis rotation. Maximum workpiece size is 600 mm diameter by 400 mm height, with a 300 kg (661 lb) table load capacity. The larger envelope compared to the M460V opens up medium-sized aerospace structural parts and larger die/mold components.

The spindle runs at 15,000 RPM with 22 kW (30 hp) through a CAT 40 Big Plus taper, identical to the standard M560-V. Bridge-type construction provides the rigidity backbone that makes the GENOS M560 series popular, and that structural advantage carries over to the 5-axis variant. The 32-tool arm-type ATC is standard. Machine weight is approximately 9,500 kg (20,944 lb), noticeably heavier than the M460V-5AX due to the larger bridge frame and trunnion assembly.

Rapid traverse hits 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on X and Y, 32 m/min (1,260 ipm) on Z. The OSP-P500 control is standard with Thermo-Friendly Concept and optional Collision Avoidance System. The wider X-axis travel of 1,050 mm gives shops significantly more flexibility for multi-part fixtures and larger single-piece work than the 762 mm M460V variant.

The GENOS M560V-5AX competes with machines like the DMG Mori DMU 50 3rd Generation, Mazak VARIAXIS C-600, and Matsuura MAM72-35V. It offers more X-axis travel than most competitors in this class while maintaining Okuma's thermal compensation technology. New pricing typically runs $250,000-$330,000 depending on options. Floor space requirement is approximately 3,200 x 3,200 mm (126 x 126 in).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,050 mm X-axis travel is significantly more generous than most 5-axis machines in this class, enabling larger parts and multi-part fixtures on the trunnion table
Bridge-type (double-column) construction inherited from the M560-V platform provides superior rigidity compared to C-frame 5-axis machines at similar price points
500 mm trunnion table with 300 kg load capacity handles medium-sized aerospace and die/mold components that outgrow the smaller M460V-5AX
22 kW (30 hp) CAT 40 Big Plus spindle at 15,000 RPM matches the proven powerplant in the standard M560-V, handling steel through aluminum efficiently
9,500 kg machine mass provides excellent vibration damping for simultaneous 5-axis contouring in demanding materials like titanium and Inconel
Thermo-Friendly Concept standard keeps tolerances tight across shift changes without warm-up cycles, critical for production 5-axis work

Limitations

300 kg table load capacity is moderate for the machine's size class; shops running heavy fixtures on the trunnion may find it limiting
+20 to -110 degree A-axis tilt range is narrower than the MU-5000V's +90 to -120 degrees, potentially requiring additional setups for extreme angle features
32-tool standard magazine may not be sufficient for complex 5-axis jobs requiring extensive tool inventories; no large-capacity magazine options like the MU series
CAT 40 taper only with no 50-taper option limits clamping force for the heaviest roughing operations
3,200 x 3,200 mm footprint is larger than the M460V-5AX, requiring more floor space commitment for the 5-axis capability

Best For

Aerospace subcontractors producing medium-sized structural components, brackets, and housings that need more X-axis reach than compact 5-axis machines provide Die and mold shops machining medium-sized molds and dies where bridge-type rigidity and 5-axis access reduce electrode count and polishing time Job shops upgrading from the GENOS M560-V 3-axis platform to 5-axis, leveraging familiar OSP control and programming knowledge Medical device manufacturers producing larger implants and instrument components that exceed the M460V-5AX's work envelope Shops needing 5-axis capability with production-grade thermal stability and rigidity without the price tag of premium platforms like the MU-5000V Multi-part fixture operations where the 1,050 mm X-axis travel allows mounting multiple parts per cycle on the trunnion

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does an Okuma GENOS M560V-5AX cost?

New pricing runs $250,000-$330,000 depending on options. This positions it above the M460V-5AX and below the MU-5000V in Okuma's 5-axis lineup. The price premium over the standard 3-axis M560-V reflects the trunnion table, additional servos, and 5-axis software features.

02 How does this compare to the GENOS M460V-5AX?

The M560V-5AX offers significantly more X-axis travel (1,050 vs 762 mm), a larger 500 mm trunnion table (vs 400 mm), higher table load (300 vs 200 kg), and heavier machine mass (9,500 vs 7,500 kg). The larger machine handles bigger parts and provides better rigidity. The M460V-5AX is the better choice for shops with space constraints or that primarily run smaller components.

03 Should I get this or the MU-5000V?

The MU-5000V offers wider A-axis tilt (+90 to -120 degrees vs +20 to -110), larger Y and Z travels, 500 kg table load, and tool magazine options up to 268 positions. If you need aggressive simultaneous 5-axis contouring with maximum tilt range, the MU-5000V is the better machine. The GENOS M560V-5AX costs less and excels at positional 5-axis and moderate simultaneous 5-axis work.

04 How does it compare to the DMG Mori DMU 50?

The GENOS M560V-5AX offers substantially more X-axis travel (1,050 vs 650 mm) and heavier construction (9,500 vs approximately 5,600 kg). The DMU 50 offers Siemens or Heidenhain control options and a more compact footprint. For shops prioritizing rigidity and work envelope, the Okuma has the advantage. For shops wanting European control options and a smaller machine, the DMU 50 is worth considering.

05 Is the bridge-type construction important for 5-axis work?

Yes. Bridge-type (double-column) construction provides significantly more rigidity than C-frame designs, especially important when the trunnion table swings to aggressive angles. The added stiffness reduces tool deflection and vibration during simultaneous 5-axis contouring, resulting in better surface finishes and tighter tolerances on complex 3D surfaces.
